3. DEVICE OPERATION
3.1 Page Read.
Upon initial device power up, the device def aults to Read1 mode. This operation is also initiated by writing 00h to the
command register along with followed by the four address input cycles. Once the command is latched, it does not
need to be written for the following page re ad operation.
Three types of operations are available: random read, serial page read and sequential row read.
The random read mode is enabled when the page address is changed. The 528 bytes (x8 device) or 264 word (x16
device) of data within the selected page are transferred to the data registers in less than access random read time tR
(15us). The system controller can detect the completion of th is data tr ansf er tR (15us) by an alyzing the output of R/B
pin. Once the data in a page is loaded into the registers, they may be read out in 50ns cycle time by sequentially puls-
ing RE. High to low transitions of the RE clock output the data stating from the selecte d column addr ess up to the last
column address.
After the data of last column address is clocked out, the next page is automatically selected for sequential row read.
Waiting tR again allows reading the selected page. The sequential row read operation is terminated by bringing CE
high.
The way th e Read1 and Read2 commands work is like a pointer set to either the main area or the spare area. Writing
the Read2 command user may selectively access the s pare area of byte s 512 to 527. Addresses A0 to A3 set the start-
ing address of the spare ar ea while addresses A4 to A7 are ig nored. Unless the oper ation is aborted, the page addr ess
is automatically incremented for sequential row
Read as in Read1 operation and spare sixteen bytes of each page may be sequentially read. The Read1 command
(00h/01h) is needed to move the pointer back to the main area. Figure_10 to 12 show typical sequence and timings
for each read operatio n.
Devices with automatic read of page0 at power up can be provided on request.
3.2 Page Program.
The device is progr ammed ba sically on a page ba sis, but it does allow multiple partial page pr ogr amming of a byte or
consecutive bytes up to 528 (x8 device), in a single page program cycle.
The number of consecutive partial page programming operation within the same page without an intervening erase
operation must not exceed 8; for example, 4 times for main array (X8 device:1time/512byte, X16 device:1time
256word) and 4 times for spare array (X8 device:1time/16byte ,X16 device:1time/8word).
The addressing may be done in any random order in a block. A page program cycle consists of a serial data loading
period in which up to 528 bytes (x8 device) or 264 word (x16 device) of data may be load ed into the page registe r, fol-
lowed by a non-volatile programming period where the loaded data is programmed into the appropriate cell. Serial
data loading can be started from 2nd half array by moving pointer. About the pointer operation, please refer to
Figure_22.
The data-loading sequence begins by inputting the Serial Data Input command (80h), followed by the four address
input cycles and then serial data loading. The Page Program confirm command (10h) sta rts the progr amming process.
Writing 10h alone without previously entering the serial data will not initiate the programming process. The internal
Program Erase Controller a utomatically executes the algorithms and timings necessary for pr ogram and ver ify, thereby
freeing the system controller for other tasks. Once the program process starts, the Read Status Register command
may be entered, with RE and CE low, to read the status register. The system controller can detect the completion of a
program cycle by monitoring the R/B output, or the Status bit (I/O 6) of the Status Register. Only the Read Status
command and Reset command are valid while programming is in progress. When the Page Program is complete, the
Write Status Bit (I/O 0) may be checked Figure_14
The internal write verify detects only errors for "1"s that are not successfully programmed to "0"s. The command reg-
ister remains in Read Status command mode until another valid command is written to the command register.
